Dear experts,

do not worry about my earlier question about xcl files, they turned out to be a minor problem.

This is what I had in mind:

A database on information from workshops. The language variants are German DE, German AT, German CH, English UK, English US, but they are not necessarily filled in when an entry is created, i.e. incomplete entries.

There can be synonyms, terms can be used in different subjects, there can be different sources for one term which leads to duplicates.

So everything needs to be pretty flexible.

I have two large Excel files. I thought I would simply create a termbase, populate it and then import the second file at the click of a few buttons.

I created many different termbases, each time hoping to have found the final bug fix. I created an import definition, an input model, a term base definition, matching Excel files and mastered the Glossary Converter, created xml and termbases.

But ... all I have now after three days are two separate term bases that were automatically produced by Glossary Converter.

I realize that this kind of database cannot work properly with Studio, but it would have been so nice to have one single source of information.

Thank you very much in advance

Birgit
